Why does my Brother QL-1050 show a data transmission error?
- K
  Kimberly DavisAug 28, 2025
  A data transmission error on your computer screen when using the Brother Label Printer could be due to several reasons: * Verify that the correct port is selected in the “Print to the following port” list within the Printer Properties dialog box. * Check if the Brother Label Printer is in cooling mode (the LED lamp is flashing orange). Wait for the LED lamp to stop flashing before attempting to print again. * Determine if another user is printing via the network. If multiple users are printing large amounts of data simultaneously, the printer may be unable to accept your print job until the other jobs are completed. Try re-executing the print job once the other jobs have finished.
